Mailman in debian, mailman don`t send the mails to users and admin, postfix work fine

Hi, I don`t write so much english but I`ll try. I have a PC with debian sarge, I installed apache2, postfix, postfix work fine, It send and receive mail from and since anywhere such as hotmail, yahoo, localhost. But the problems is with mailman, I installed mailman and run dpkg-reconfigure mailman, and this tolk me than I have to create a newlist with newlist mailman, and then I had to write somes lines to the /etc/aliases, I did that, and I can see the web with http://mydomain/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo, i can create new list but when I create this, don`t send a mail to the admin of the list. and i can subscribe with my name, mail, password but when a click on Accept, don`t send me any mail. Need I run a script o sometime like that to work mailman with with postfix or by default it work? The problem, i think: mailman don`t comunicate with postfix to send mail because I saw the mail.log when I subscribed and there ins´t any mail to the user, and the admin neither. __________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo!

This is strange on a couple of counts. bout of the above email addresses have local parts that look like domain names and domains equal to yours. This may say that Mailman is actually trying to send just to cva34.internetdsl.tpnet.pl or p43n152.172.63.ruraltel.net. This may be some loop involved in rejecting messages or some kind of 'denial of service' attack on your server. You never mentioned messages incomming to Mailman. Are there any? If you look at the list's Privacy options generic_nonmember_action and header_filter_rules actions if any, are these set to Reject? If so, try changing them to Hold or Discard and see what happens (Hold will give more information if this is the problem). -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro(a)value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Batch Processing
by Dana Nevins March 30, 2006

March 30, 2006

I have an announcement list with 45,000 members, when I send an email not only does it severely overload the server but it also gets blocked from performing DNS lookups after the first few thousand lookups. It has been suggested that I set up a caching DNS server but that doesn't look as easy as it sounds and I already am using bind so I would prefer just tweaking that installation to do what I need if possible. Looking on the internet it just isn't clear cut how to do this, especially in a way that isn't going to mess with my current setup which is a typical Redhat Cpanel setup hosting a fair amount of sites. What have other people done in this instance? Dana

Mailman 2.1.5 and S/MIME
by Liam Friel March 30, 2006

March 30, 2006

Hi, We've been using mailman for ages to manage lists from several of our sites: works fine, running 2.1.5 We are experimenting with S/MIME encryption of mail messages for several reasons. A cursory experiment suggests the even with all content filtering turned off, mailman does not handle S/MIME encrypted messages correctly. 1. Encrypted mails (smime.p7m attachments) arrive at their destination with the message body removed (ie subject only) 2. Signed mails (smime.p7s) arrive at their destination with the .p7s as an attachment Now (2) above I guess may be more or less correct, since it is mailman who "sent" me the message and not the person who signed it originally. However I don't understand (1) at all. Why did the encrypted S/MIME attachment just get dropped? I have verified that both the signed and encrypted mails are correctly formed by mailing them direct to a recipient rather then sending then via mailman. I have had a quick look around on the web, but I didn't come across a definitive statement if/if not mailman supports S/MIME encryption and signing of mails. Can someone clarify this for me, or point me at a link? Ta Liam The information contained in this e-mail and in any attachments is confidential and is designated solely for the attention of the intended recipient(s). If you are not an intended recipient, you must not use, disclose, copy, distribute or retain this e-mail or any part thereof. If you have received this e-mail in error, please notify the sender by return e-mail and delete all copies of this e-mail from your computer system(s).

create multiple lists
by Carconni March 29, 2006

March 29, 2006

Hi, Were moving to mailman and I need to create over 250 "lists". All the lists will have the same owner and and the same password. Is there anyway to automate this? I can set up a script to loop through a test file but how can I set the owner_mail = args[1] and listpasswd = args[2] to a default value? Thanks

Web archive problems...
by Daniel F Moisset March 29, 2006

March 29, 2006

Hi, I'm having some problems with Mailman 2.1.5. I run a mailman site with several lists and none of them are getting archived in the internal html private archive. The mboxes are being correctly updated, and the HTML files can be updated manually by running the "arch" command. The list configuration for archival options is: archive: yes archive_private: private archive_volume_frequency: monthly The site config for archival is: ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX = 2 (actually set on Defaults.py) I have also set values for PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER and PRIVATE_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER to use also a secondary archiver. Permissions seem to be ok (running the check_perms script), and the "arch" commands updates the HTML archive correctly when running as user list. Any idea of what may be wrong?

Bouncing a user repeatedly.
by P.I.Julius March 29, 2006

March 29, 2006

Hi, I have a little problem with my mailman setup, and I would like to ask you guys for an opinion about it. I have a few lists set up on my mailman, but I just noticed that for one of my lists there is something wired going on. The server keeps bouncing a user which is an unknown user, so I have a lot of unwanted emails going on on my server. For eg. this is one of them: Mar 28 17:50:48 lists postfix/smtpd[26762]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Mar 28 17:50:48 lists postfix/smtpd[26762]: 3DCF928002: client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Mar 28 17:50:48 lists postfix/smtpd[26762]: 3DCF928002: reject: RCPT from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]: 450 <cva34.internetdsl.tpnet.pl(a)lists.hndomain.org>: User unknown in local recipient table; from=<fk-bounces(a)lists.hndomain.org> to=<cva34.internetdsl.tpnet.pl(a)lists.hndomain.org> proto=ESMTP helo=<80-70-88-201-BusName-dc.hfc.ccs.net> Mar 28 17:50:49 lists postfix/smtpd[26762]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] As you can see the bounce is sent out from fk-bounces(a)lists.hndomain.org to cva34.internetdsl.tpnet.pl(a)lists.hndomain.org but we don't have such an user on our server, so why do we get all this emails sent out? it happens every seconds, so it really uses a lot of cpu resources. Could someone please help me with this? Thanks in advance! Julius
